Celebrating the Great Afrikan History Continuum

Throughout the ages Afrikan souls
recount their experiences to empower themselves in any particular period for present
and future unfolding. Great achievements relayed amongst themselves highlighted
progressive strides and also lessons gleaned from any challenges that they may
have had to face and overcome. But why? Is empowerment simply that of pondering
past experience as just leisurely food for thought or only as mere pastime trivia?
Surely, these builders of the greatest and most enduring civilisations ever to
exist engaged in historical recall to inform upright application of themselves
in their continual building, growth, development and security. Here then, there
is historical resonance that naturally exists in soul people’s self-experiences
and its knowing.
According to a contemporary mainstream source the word resonance can be described in the following way:
“If something has a resonance for someone, it has a special meaning or is particularly important to them”.
In the context of this discussion, ‘someone’ can usefully be changed to ‘Afrikan souls’ to yield the description:
“If something has a resonance for Afrikan souls, it has a special meaning or is particularly important to them”.
With this in mind, another mainstream source illustrates a powerful function of resonance in relation to peoplehood:
“resonance is affirmative because it creates a positive relation between people”.
The impact of historically-based expressions can also be of great importance with an additional mainstream source indicating the following:
“Resonant: People like to make analogies with it; it is possible to connect with experiences, beliefs or situations across time and space”.
Further, with a level of instructiveness also emanating from the mainstream the following is posited:
“in order to understand various historical resonances, historians need to be sensitive to the resonances within the archive and remain open to different types of sources”.
In a state of interruption and disruption and despite the efforts of others that mean the Afrikan ill, historical resonance surely ought to be restored and purposefully utilised in rightful order of ascension. This is duty and responsibility that Afrikan souls have unto themselves as naturally functional builders and operators of grand civilisation.
Far from being a phenomenon of detachment, resonance speaks to life application and engagement. Here, Afrikan souls from whatever station, level or status and wherever they stand can make steps for the recovery of their historical resonance through some semblance of self-knowingness and the upright application of themselves. At the same time, Afrikan souls can do themselves a great service in safeguarding against contaminants of ill, self-destructive wrongdoing and the like.
Afrikan history is naturally of vital and powerful importance to Afrikan people as it yields the historical resonance for continual history making in the now and throughout the tomorrows to come. For this primary people of creation, civilised living and civilisation is not fantasy fiction nor the stuff of happenstance. The pinnacle civilisations this primary determined to be naturally resonates with them as they apply themselves to building in the now throughout the tomorrows to come.
